To complete the previous verses, some details are given here, beginning with the fact that, those who can see and understand are not equal to those who are blind and perceive not, and so are the faithful and faithless not similar to each other, and also those who understand and those who understand not.
Almost all the commentators understand that this verse (NO.19) invites people to gain knowledge, and learn more and more, because those who are void of knowledge are none the better than those who are blind.
Then there comes the second verse of the above group (NO.20) that points at a brief outline of the order which those who have a mind to grasp, and an eye to perceive will pursue. They are:ِ
1- Those who fulfil their covenant with Allah and break not their promises.
2- Their next programme is connection with those whom. Allag has comanded to conect with. Man should always have a firm connection and fair relation with his Creator, His apostles, teachers and learned people, his own parent, family and friends, the society, and even himself. This is because man is a social creature, and is not created to Live alone and in seclusion like the hermits.
3_ They are the God- fearing, pious persons who avoid evil deeds in order to be nearer and dearer to God.
4- They are watchful over their behaviour for their dread of a bad reckoning and record of deeds which will make their whole life in the world to come.
5- patience and perseverance is their creed when they ecnunter with trouble and hardship.
6- they take care to observe well their daily prayers.
7- They are generous in charity whether in secret or open, and give alms from the sustenance which god has bestowed on them which consists of all sorts of physical and spicirual possessions and powers and faculties.
8- And finally they are not a vengeful people, and they do their best to turn evil away with doing good. when they do sonething wrong, they immediately after it; do something good, in order to cancel the effect of their evil deed, and to correct their wrong. In other word it is not their cred to answer dad for dad. If a friend, or even a foe makes a mischief, they admonish him practically and by doing something good to them.
the above eight sorts of conducts are in other word, eight gates of hte pParadise, because the trsult and reward of the said righteous persons, be they man or woman, is the promised paradise of god. It is a destination and eteraal abode made out of pure mercy and mere bliss of our Gracious Lord. In paradise the righteous will reunite with their nears and dears like their parents, wife, and children, not due to their blood relations, but for the sake of their righteousness and piety.
